Nice coins... I looked through the other UK coins as well. Thalia Elizabeth has a few of the "crowns" as well, especially if they have to do with Elizabeth II.
You have a nice little set ! I've bought a cople of them, but stopped recently (too much concentration on the german side of my collection !)
Actually according the British Mint website they officially put into law that a "Crown" is now worth 5 pounds sterling. So feel free to call them that. I just came across this information about 3 weeks ago. Sorry I don't have the link.:eating:
